Why an All-Ages Edition?
A few years ago, I set up a table at my local FanX convention. A father and his adorable 8 year-old girl stopped at my table and wanted to know about the book. After I explained it to them, the father asked if it was safe for her to read. I immediately thought about Heather screaming “Oh Shit!” and the bikers dropping “F-bombs” on page 2.
I asked, “is it okay if there’s swearing?” The dad said that was fine and they bought the first issue for her. A few days later I ran into Andy at our local comic book store and asked him how he would feel about Grawlixing the books. He agreed and I now have "no-swears" editions for the kids.
Is it REALLY All-Ages?
Maybe not by some standards. I mean, I haven't changed the story or taken out any violence, and the plot around human trafficking is fairly adult (though I don't say exactly what they're being trafficked for). But there’s no nudity, sex, or sexuality in the story, so use your discretion and maybe read it first before you decide if it's right for your kid.
What’s a Grawlix?
A “grawlix” is the old-school practice of replacing curse words with upper carriage characters. Like, instead of Heather’s “Oh, shit!” It would read “Oh, $#&%!” Of course with modern-day fonts we can be even more creative…
What We’re Funding
In getting issue #5 ready for the next Kickstarter, I discovered that I was short of funds to pay my artists. Backing this set helps me pay the artists to get issue #5 in your hands as soon as possible!
The Kickstarter goal helps to pay our artists and purchases our rewards.
Fun Rewards!
Along with getting all four issues in either digital or printed formats, you can also get a limited-edition t-shirt:
And an exclusive sketched cover of issue #1 by either Greg or myself.
I’ll share the images of the sketched covers in the coming weeks. You’ll choose the cover you want during fulfillment. There are only eight available, so get one while you can!
AND if you buy the printed or digital sets on the first day, you can get them for 50% off!
Don’t miss out! Join the fight and help me pay my artists to complete issue #5 before I launch the next Kickstarter!
